FAQs

What does Size 2 mean in the Always Ultra range?
+

Always uses a numerical sizing system alongside the descriptive names in the Ultra range — Size 1 corresponds to Normal absorbency and Size 2 corresponds to Long absorbency. Size 2 is the appropriate step up from Size 1 for heavier flow days when a normal-length pad no longer provides sufficient coverage or capacity. The sizing numbers make it straightforward to identify the right protection level without relying on descriptive names alone.

How does this compare to the Always Ultra Long without wings?
+

The pad itself — core absorbency, length, and thickness — is the same. The only difference is the presence of wings on this variant, which fold around the underwear gusset to prevent sideways shifting during movement. If you find pads stay in position well without wings, the non-winged version provides the same protection. If you experience pad movement or side leakage during activity, the winged version provides the anchoring needed to address this.

When should I use a Long pad instead of a Normal?
+

Step up to a Long pad when the Normal pad is consistently saturated before you are ready to change it, or when you want greater front-to-back coverage on the heavier days of your cycle. For most people, this corresponds to the middle days of the period when flow is at its highest. Keeping both Normal and Long pads available allows you to match the right protection level to each day's flow.

How often should I change on a heavy flow day?
+

On heavy flow days, change every two to four hours or whenever the pad becomes saturated — do not wait until it is fully soaked. No sanitary pad should be worn for longer than eight hours regardless of how full it appears. Changing promptly on heavy flow days supports hygiene, comfort, and reliable protection.

How do I dispose of a winged pad?
+

Peel back each wing from the underwear fabric, fold the pad inward, and wrap in toilet tissue or the backing paper from a fresh pad before placing in a bin. Never flush sanitary towels — they cause serious drain blockages and are not designed to break down in water.
